Xbox 360 PS3

Codemasters unveils the first gameplay trailer of Colin McRae: Dirt on the 360 Marketplace. The game is several months from its June release but it already looks quite good, if not as spectacular as some of the screenshots.
Update: Fixed version with better sound sync (but not perfect) online. A proper 720p version will be online tonight.
Update2: 720p versions added. The quality of the original trailer on the Marketplace isn't that good to begin with, so downloading this new version isn't really necessary if you've seen the previous one.

HOLY CRAP! That part in the rain, and the normal view was f'n awesome! I want to see this game in action, not just replays. Very impressive looking environments, and I love the physics, great crashes.

I wouldn't compare CMR: DIRT with MotorStorm.

I played MotorStorm and it's graphic is very good in some parts and very bad in other parts - at the same time. So you get no feeling of a "constantly good graphic"*.

MotorStorm is also very limited in terms of tracks (there are only 8 tracks, and only round courses), whereas CMR will have long tracks where you can drive from A to B...

So in the end i'm not expecting the same amount of details on the single tracks in CMR as in MotorStorm, but a better "general" experience (= constant graphical look)while playing.

*sorry, english is not my native language, so i don't know a better expression for that.

best regards,
ScarJack

Superb crashes, can't believe people want to see cars disintegrate like Motorstorm. What fun would that be in a realistic rally game?

Graphic are good but not that good.

Only about as diffrent as half life and halo, diffrent yes comparable...yes

In some ways, yes, comparable, but in others, not so comparable.

Motorstorm = a big emphasis on physics (that is, crashing to other cars and everything blowing up and then stuff flying around) and at best has a lot of cars/motorcycles/trucks on screen at one time

Colin McRae = only has a few cars on screen at once and I believe Colin McRae to have less emphasis on the kind of desctruction that is in Motorstorm.

I'd say they are quite even. Motorstorm can look incredibly good (I'd say it gives Gears of War a great run at being the best looking next-gen game), yet at times it can look "not-so-special". Still, the lighting, car models & huge environments of Motorstorm are all great, not to even mention the physics. So... yeah. I'd say Motorstorm & Colin McRae are pretty even. Motorstorm looks a bit better at times, and Colin McRae in others.

From some folks in the biz, who have actulally played the game...

From PC preivew IGN handson

Codemaster's upcoming installment in the long-running and exceedingly popular Colin McRae series isn't just the best-looking rally game we've seen, it's one of the best-looking next generation titles, period. This week we've been lucky enough to go hands-on with Colin McRae: DIRT and were immediately blown away by the impressive visuals, superb handling and high-speed rally racing. Clearly Codemasters has had its best development team locked up in a garage for several years with only programming tools for company, if the impressive results we've seen so far are anything to go by.

DIRT is definitely shaping up to be a truly next generation racing game, which looks great and plays brilliantly too

It's probably just me, but I find gratuitous lowercase "i" in titles/products really annoying. Otherwise the game doesn't look half bad. Not my cup of tea, but still alright.

The framerate is absolute CRAP. how come we can have 60fps Colin McRae and RalliSport games on the original Xbox but not a 60fps Colin McRae on Xbox 360?

The graphics are NOT good enough to justify the low framerate (looks like 25 to 30 fps), or less). there is no excuse for this. I'm not saying the game is crap, it might turn out to be good, but the framerate is absolutely terrible IMO.

I will pass on the Xbox 360 and PS3 console versions if the framerate is anything like this. Hopefully the PC version will be capable of a solid, consistant, butter-smooth 60fps with a powerful graphics card.

lol ok if we are talking about real rally racing then we shouldn't have more than 1 car on the track either. BAH! Multiplayer is a must!

Codemasters said they're going to have the graphics run at 30 frames per second, but the the physics at 60fps.

Wow no multiplayer? What a waste. I was looking forward to buying a rally game on 360, but no online multiplayer = no buy. A.I. in racing games is just like bots in FPS to me, no fun.

pure horse pap. god bless colin mccrae 05 on the xbox. smooth 60fps over that pap anyday. the second dissapointment of the week. first virtua tennis now this.

I myself would not call CMR: Dirt "pure horse pap" though I will say that it's disheartening to know that Dirt is gonna be ~30fps when CMR 05 and both RalliSport games on Xbox1 were 60fps bliss.

regarding the confusion over the framerate of the visuals

http://community.codemasters.com/forum/showthread....

originally the target was 60fps (50fps PAL) but they decided to go with 30fps (25fps PAL?) because they could not get the graphical fidelity they wanted at 60fps/50fps, so they dropped the framerate of the graphics.

http://community.codemasters.com/forum/showpost.ph...

60fps was our target and we've found ourselves unable to meet that at an acceptable level of visual quality. somethign had to give and it was decided to drop the frame rate, Because, in our opinion, the game looks better this way than the other way.

Your opinion my be different, but ultimatey we've got to take the route we think is best.

http://community.codemasters.com/forum/showpost.ph...

Dirt's phsyics engine isn;t tied to the graphics update speed, it runs fast (like Papyrus's or ISI's enigne)

graphic update is 30 fps.
main physics update is 60fps (with suspension stuff calculated somewhere round 1000 times a second.) so you're not losing out on any fidelity there from dropping the speed of the graphics update.

1. Very nice Cockpit view!
2. Rain looks awesome
3. 30 frames? No Thanks!
4. No Multiplayer? Really?
5. Good graphics, but not groundbreaking.

Waitin' for SEGA Rally 360, Richard Burns (R.I.P.) Rally 2 & Rally Sport 3.
